They could have done much better with them

I think the simplicity of it makes it wonderful. I love the editorial.

 

[visualoptimism]

African Queen looks nice!

OK in isolation I think that Helena's image is the best (although not sure how it will come of in HQ), but it does not fit in with the others.

I also like the vibe that Cindy, Naomi and Eva are giving but Eva's hair and make up bring it down.

I think that more thought should have been given to the composition and vibe. I think that if they could have captured the vibe that Cindy, Naomi and Eva were giving off across the board with better hair and make up, that would have made for a good cover. If they could have captured the vibe that Helena was giving off with better composition and hair and make up, that had the makings of a great cover.

All these chicks have great bods.


ETA:
Was this an impromptu shoot and cover, i.e., was an HB photographer allowed in to shoot outtakes from the video, or was this a planned cover and ed for HB? I remember reading about this project a while back but I have not been following the play-by-play?

Just got my issue! Wow!!!! So many more great shots inside in different set ups. It's over 22 pages...

OMG how come I haven't received my copy yet...

They all look so dated.

I don’t know guys why you expected something extraordinary... I did not... even with Bazaar... esp if you listened to the song which I love by the way... I knew it would be bright... I knew there would be some wigs involved ... everything was supposed to be very commercial...humorous, cheesy and a bit gimmicky...and after all it is behind the scenes shoot...

Good to see models taking over celebrities’ jobs... bloody celebrities have been stealing their jobs for so long now ;-)

I am sure our opinion will change when we see the HQ... poor Helena has been getting all the stick... I don’t think she looks weird for a minute... and I am sure the HQ will prove me right...

it is good to have something like that for a change but not made up to perfection lady gagas pretending to be style icons... I love this girls bcos they don’t give a damn... they can do cheesy and they can do edgy, they can do over made up and they can do bare... and this is the only reason why they are supermodels..

of course I would have preferred to have a cover like this:

but good to have something different for a change.

my thoughts exactly

 

[Psylocke]

Am I the only one that absolutely loves the cover? Sure, there's always the feeling of "it could probably have been better" when you have such an amazing cast, but if you look at these models' recent work I think none of it was mindblowing or anything. And this is a really gorgeous shot of very beautiful women and I think they all look great. The previews of the video & ed ook promising, can't wait to see everything.


Also, is that Daria Pleggenkuhle in both the African Queen and the Golden Girl editorial? Her last HB UK ed was amazing, the preview for these look nice, too.

I like the cover. I think I will apreciate it more when I'll see it physically because here I can't see the eyes of the girls.
I'm in love with the first photos of the article, the setting and the mood are great.
My first thought was they put the british girls in the front with the american and the Danish and Czech in the back. Of course, it's a british magazine. I'm very impatient to discover the other photos and more solo ones.

 

[Tony Fersen]

Can someone tell me if there is an article in the daily mail on paper ? my bookshop receive it a day after and it will help me a lot to know the date. Thank you.

My initial reaction was "it could've been better" but the more I look at it the more I like it. You can't go wrong with the Supers. (btw had no idea that was an official nickname for them, I thought it was just forum abbreviation, haha) Pretty cool, these WOMEN have their own nickname on covers. They're icons. Icons never go out of style.

I don't want to offend anyone, but OK we get! How many times is it necessary to try and make us see that the blandness of this cover is justified? Some people here are Helena fans and some are not. Some people like it, some not. Some people are biased, most are not. It's seems a bit redundant to rationalize out of bias the boring nature of this cover all the time.

I am allowed express my opinions as far as I am aware...
I am not rationalising anything...
I am not asking anyone to agree or disagree...
I don't expect anyone to like Helena either...
Moreover, I said for many times that when it comes to Helena I am 100% biased... I don't pretend to be objective unlike some people...
But I am sure if these five were replaced by Freja and the co, who produce nothing but the bordome as far as I am concerned, we would have had different comments...

I'm very sad to say the subscriber's cover is the exact same shot.
